The NCAA on Wednesday announced a pair of new proposals for 2018, one that that would limit football staff sizes to 30 and another that would move the start of football practice back to early August.
According to the proposal, FBS schools would be "required to designate 30 individuals who will participate in on-campus football recruiting activities." There is currently no limit on the number of staffers who can be involved in recruiting, and many schools have football staffs numbering several dozen.
The 30 staff members would include all on-field coaches, including the head coach, as well as 10 assistant coaches and four graduate assistants.
